conn-pod: the Jaeger's detachable cockpit module; sometimes called a Conn.

COSDEC: Pacific Rim Combined Special Defense Corp.

drift: (slang) a joint vision shared by Jaeger crew members while directly linked via the Pons; triggered by subconscious stimuli, a generally involuntary but seldom debilitating phenomenon.

drivesuit: the Jaeger/pilot interface suit designed to monitor vital signs and to translate nerve signals to piloting input.

ghost-drift: (slang) a kind of quasi-telepathic vision shared (by parties with a pre-existing Pons connection) without the aid of a hard neural interface; commonly triggered by stress, physical proximity, or coinciding REM sleep patterns.
